THE INTERNATIONAL MATCH. 



At the annual meeting of the New England Checker Association, 
held Feb. 22, 1904, Mr. Geo. W. Dearborn, after a spirited dis- 
cussion moved that the New England Checker Association and the 
Boston Checker Club unite in an invitation to the Scottish and 
English Draughts Associations to nominate a team of ten players 
to meet a team of ten American players in an international match, 
to be played in the city of Boston. In pursuance of the instructions 
and powers conveyed by the unanimous adoption of this motion, 
the following named gentlemen, Geo. W. Dearborn, A. J. Kirby, 
Frank A. Fitzpatrick, Samuel Grover, W. G. Hill, Charles Ubel, 
Ernest Williams, J. J. Lannin, and Dr. Edward Hamm were ap- 
pointed members of an Executive Committee, to act jointly with 
George H. Dean, President Boston Checker Club, A. J. Heffner, 
and H. L. Pigeon, appointed by the Boston Checker Club. 

This committee organized by electing Geo. W. Dearborn, Chair- 
man; Dr. Edward Hamm, Treasurer; and Frank A. Fitzpatrick, 
Secretary. After due deliberation,, the following invitation was sent 
to Mr. Alex Bryson, of the Draughts World, Glasgow, Scotland, 
to be communicated to the Scottish and English Draughts Associa- 
tions : 



Boston, Mass., March 25th, 1904. 

To the English and Scottish Draughts Associations. 

Gentlemen : — 

We take pleasure in informing you that at a meeting of the Ex- 
ecutive Committee of the New England Checker Association, 



held at the American House in Boston, on March 9th, 1904, and act- 
ing in conjunction with a committee from the Boston Checker Club, 
both committees having full powers to represent - their respective 
organizations, passed by a unanimous vote, the following resolution :- 

"Resolved, — That we, the members of the Executive Committee 
of the New England Checker Association, acting in conjunction with 
a committee from the Boston Checker Club, extend to the English 
and Scottish Draughts Associations an invitation to send a team 
of their representative players to the United States to participate in 
a team match, with a similar number of American players. 

"Be if further resolved, — That the match or tournament be played 
in the city of Boston, at such time as may be mutually acceptable to 
all parties concerned, and, in consideration of the fact that the Eng- 
lish and Scottish players have to make an ocean voyage, and absent 
themselves from business for a much longer period than the Amer- 
ican players, and for other considerations, we, representing the 
American players, contract for, and pay all bills incidental to the 
playing of the match, said bills also to include the travelling expenses 
of all the foreign players from the time of leaving home shore until 
they arrive at home shore again. 

"It is also resolved, — That we, wishing to set ourselves right 
with the English and Scottish Draughts Associations, declare that 
this invitation to visit and play with us is prompted by a desire for 
a closer acquaintance with them, and incidentally to advance the 
interests of the game we mutually love so well." 

In conclusion, we will say that we have outlined a programme for 
a contest of about ten players on each side. Rules governing the 
play style of restrictions, if any, and other details, we leave open for 
discussion with the special committee, consisting of — Mr. Samuel 
Grover, chairman; Mr. A. J. Heffner, and Mr. George W. Dearborn, 
and can be arranged to the satisfaction of all, the main object in 
view being to bring together in friendly rivalry and intercourse, 
many of the world's most famous players, which must lead to life- 
long memories and friendships, besides advancing beyond measure 
the interests of the game of draughts. 



We trust that the Draughts Association of our transatlantic friends 
will give this matter the attention it deserves. 
Hoping for a favorable reply, we remain, 

Fraternally yours, 

Joint-Committee of the N. E. C. Association and B. C. Club: — 

George W. Dearborn, Chairman. 

A. J. Kirby, Pres. N. E. Association. 

W. G. Hill. 

Edward Hamm, D. D. S., Treasurer. 

Frank A. Fitzpatrick, Secretary. 

Samuel Grover. 

A. J. Heffner.

H. L. Pigeon. 

To this invitation the Scottish and English Draughts Associations 
replied, accepting the invitation as below. 

Glasgow, 27th September, 1904. 

I 

Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick, 

The Committees representing the English and Scottish Draughts 
Associations, after much correspondence and interchange of ideas, 
rendered somewhat protracted on account of the holiday season, 
and the wide area covered by the Committees, have unanimously 
agreed to accept your generous invitation to take out a team of 
draughts players to represent Great Britain against a team repre- 
sentative of the United States of America. We now beg to give 
official confirmation of our acceptance upon the conditions hereafter 
stated, and which have been mostly proposed by your respected 
Committee. At the outset we desire to imitate the commendable 
spirit which you have so ably manifested in the correspondence 



conducted by you through our good friend, Mr. Bryson of the 
Draughts World, and to reciprocate the hope that the bonds of 
brotherhood and good friendship may be strengthened between us, 
a friendship to be considered of more importance than the mere 
glory of victory, however eagerly ea(*h team may strive to attain it. 
The initial stages of our negotiations have been of such a pleasant 
character that we are quite satisfied this International gathering 
will mark an epoch in the history of our game. 

i st. — We propose leaving Liverpool by the first sailing in March, 
(about the 4th), and to commence the match on the Monday after 
we land. 

2nd. — We agree to the suggestion that the match be continued 
ten days, and that each member of the team play each member of 
the opposing team. 

3rd. — We agree to the two-move restriction by ballot, barring 
the following as unplayable: — 12-16 or 11-16, followed by 23-19; 
and 9-14 or 10-14, followed by 23-18 or 21-17. 

4th. — We desire to suggest the following: — Hours of play, start- 
ing 12.30 p. m. till 5 p. m; evening sitting, from 7 p. m. till 11.30 p. m. 
Any unfinished game at the close of either session, to be finished 
before rising, the two players to be allowed, if desired, the usual 
interval before starting evening session. Two games to be played 
at each session. This suggestion is one which may be considered 
hard, but it is one which is supported unanimously by the playing 
members of our Committee, and is fair to both contestants. 

5th. — We agree to a conference after arrival in Boston, to discuss 
general matters, such as huffing and other claims, which are now 
generally regarded as obsolete. We suggest that the rules may 
be discussed upon those of M' Cullodi 1 s- Anderson, which was the 
last publication to revise the original rules of Anderson's 2nd. 

6th. — We agree to each pair of players having a timekeeper. 

7th. — Umpire to be mutually agreed upon. 

8th. — We agree to the copyright of games being vested in your 
Executive Committee, and leave the matter as to the disposal of 



complimentary copies entirely in your hands. The suggestion you 
make, to give our representatives each a copy as a memento of this 
historic occasion, is a very generous one, and is highly appreciated 
by our Committee. 

In this official communication it is perhaps impossible to cover 
all the details which the usual articles of a match make binding, 
but we are satisfied that no effort will be spared on either side to 
carry through all the arrangements in a truly friendly and sports- 
manlike spirit. We shall be glad to reply to any further suggestions 
from your side, but we consider the understanding mutually agreed 
upon is sufficient ground work for proceeding with the arrangements 
for the match. We do not intend to select our players till later on, 
but it is very gratifying to ourselves, as it must be to you, to know 
that ail the players of note are willing and anxious to take part in 
the contest. We shall communicate with you further as to sailing 
and the completing of arrangements with the Shipping Co., which 
you have so handsomely undertaken to do. 

Signed on behalf of Scottish Draughts Association: 

John Garey, M.D., J. P., Hon. President. 
J. W. Hillhouse, Hon. Treasurer. 
Alex. Bryson, Hon. Secretary. 

Signed on behalf of English Draughts Association. 

Joseph Townsend, President. 
Allan Hynd, Treasurer. 
Wm. Vallance, Secretary. 

The American Executive Committee appointed Mr. Geo. W. 
Dearborn, Mr. Samuel Grover and Mr. A. J. Heffner as a Sub- 
committee to select the American team and to arrange all matters 
relative to the details of the forthcoming match. 

This Committee sent out letters of inquiry asking the advice 
of every player, whose address could be learned, relative to the com- 
position of the American team. Rejecting the votes of New Eng- 
land players, this advice caused the selection of Charles F. Barker, 
A. J. Heffner, Samuel Grover, Clarence Freeman, Melvin Pomeroy, 



Dr. August Schaefer, Geo. W. Dearborn, Charles Hefter, John F. 
Horr, and Lucius T. Head, as members of the American team. 
For various reasons Mr. Freeman, Mr. Pomeroy, and Mr. Hefter 

f 

declined to accept positions on the team. The Committee then 
selected Mr. H. B. Reynolds, Mr. John T. Denvir, and Mr. Willis 
G. Hill to fill the vacancies. Mr. Percy Bradt, Mr. G. A. Pierce 
and Mr. W. C. Parrow, were elected substitutes to fill any untoward 
vacancy that might occur. 

The British team, Mr. Richard Jordan, Mr. J. Ferrie, Mr. J. 
Searight, Mr. Robert Stewart, Mr. G. Buchanan, Mr. Alfred Jor- 
dan, Mr. Allan Hynd, Mr. Willie Gardiner, Mr. Herbert Morrall, 
and Mr. W. Halliwell arrived in New York on March 12. They 
were met by a delegation of American players and escorted to Boston. 
On the evening of the same day a complimentary dinner was given 
to the British and American teams by the Executive Committee at 
the American House. Acting Mayor, Alderman Daniel Whelton, 
of the City of Boston, welcomed the visiting team to the city. Dr. 
Edward Hamm presided, and Mr. Frank A. Fitzpatrick acted as 
toast-master. Interesting and enthusiastic speeches were made by 
Mr. Allan Hynd, Mr. J. Ferrie, Mr. Geo. H. Dean, Mr. Geo. W. 
Dearborn and Mr. A. Bryson. 

At a conference of the playing committees, it was agreed to play 
the match under the rules found in McCulloch's, Anderson & Lea's 
Guide to the Game of Draughts; Mr. A. Bryson and Mr. F. A. 
Fitzpatrick were chosen referees. At the close of the match cheers 
were given for both teams and the occasion rounded up by a reunion 
of both teams with the members of the Executive Committee. 

The Executive Committee take this occasion to thank the players 
of America, who, by their hearty response to the appeal for aid made 
the match possible. The Boston Checker Club and the New Eng- 
land Checker Association desire to express their hearty thanks 
for services rendered by visiting players during the match. We tes- 
tify to the deep impression made upon us by the gentlemanly de- 
meanor and high qualities of the members of the British team. 
To the members of the American team, who s^ave of their time and 



&■■ 



energies in this, the most exacting contest in the history of the Game 
of Draughts, the Executive Committee has only words of praise. 

It is particularly gratifying that the money raised for all expenses 
of this match was subscribed wholly and entirely by checker players. 

Respectfully submitted, 
Frank A. Fitzpatrick, Geo. W. Dearborn, 

Secretary. Chairman Executive Committee. 

THE PLAYERS 

The five Scottish representatives of the International British 
team were Richard Jordan, James Ferrie, Robert Stewart, George 
Buchanan, and James Searight. At different times, Jordan and 
Ferrie have won the championship of the world. Stewart has five 
times won the championship of Scotland in the Scottish tourneys. 
Buchanan has twice been the winner of the Scottish tourney premier 
honors. Searight is considered by good judges to be in the front 
rank of living players. 

The five English representatives were Allan Hynd, Alfred Jor- 
dan, Willie Gardner, Herbert Morrall, and W. Halliwell. Each, 
except Halliwell, has won the English championship in the English 
tourneys. Halliwell, a brilliant player, of modest mien, has not 
yet won premier honors, but owed his selection to his magnificent 
score in the late English-Scottish tourney. 

From this short sketch it may be seen that the British team were 
worthy representatives of the old country. They justified by their 
playing the confidence reposed in them. 



RICHARD JORDAN. 



Richard Jordan was born in Edinburgh, November 4, 1872. 
When about fifteen he began to play the game and made his first 
mark as a player of ability in 1890, when he won the gold medal of 
the Edinburgh Club. In 1891, he won the medal offered for com- 
petition by Wyllie to all who succeeded in drawing a game with him. 



The final struggle rested with Jordan and W. Porte, and ended 
in a score of Jordan 2: Porte o; drawn 4. Shortly afterwards a 
subscription purse was put up for a 20-game match between Jordan 
and the old man himself. The resulting score of Wyllie 2, to Jordan 
1, and 17 draws, marked him as a coming champion. 

In 1893 Jordan entered for the Scottish Championship, which was 
inaugurated that year. Meeting Stewart of Kelty, he sustained 
the first and only defeat he has had, Stewart winning 2 to 1, and 9 
drawn. Jordan did not consider the conditions a satisfactory test 
and challenged Stewart to a match of 20 games, winning by 4 to o, 
and 13 drawn. He afterwards met and defeated J. C. Brown, the 
Border Champion, and R. Fraser of Dundee. 

In 1896, he again entered the Scottish Championship, and piloted 
his way safely through to the final, encountering James Ferrie, 
who at the time held the Championship of the World, having won 
it from Wyllie in a match of 88 games in 1894. Such a result at 
once set negotiations afoot for a set match of 40 games under a 
style of restriction in advance of anything yet put up for bringing 
out the natural abilities of a player. Jordan came off victor by 
4 to 3, and earned the title of Champion of the World. In 1897, 
Stewart challenged him to a 40-game match for £100 and the title. 
The match took place in Edinburgh and resulted in a win for Jor- 
dan by 4 to 2 and 33 drawn. 

Shortly afterwards on the invitation of Australian players, he 
sailed for Melbourne, and spent about 18 months touring the col- 
onies, giving exhibitions of his skill in cross-board and simultaneous 
play. It was while on this visit that negotiations for the match 
with the American Champion, Charles F. Barker, were begun. 
This match was played in Boston, and resulted in the score, Barker 
2: Jordan 2, drawn 36. 



JAMES FERRIE. 



Ferrie was the first of the new school of draughts players to de- 
feat the veteran "Herd Laddie". This he did in 1894, in a match 
of 88 games which he won by 13 to 6 and 69 drawn. Ferrie was 
born at Greenock, December, 1857. Luck has been against him. 
He has never been able for business reasons to play matches abroad.

He has been a regular competitor in the Scottish Championship,, 
although he has only once received the honor. Three times he 
was runner-up. 

He won his club championship at Greenock, at 18. Next year 
he became prominent in the Glasgow "Central", a well-known re- 
sort of draughts players. In 1883 he played a match of 8 games 
with W. Campbell of Glasgow, who won by 1 to o and 7 drawn. 
He later defeated Beattie of Liverpool by 2 to 1 and 3 drawn. His 
next match was for ^40 with G. Smith of London, whom he beat 
easily. Later in a friendly match he defeated J. P. Reed, the Amer- 
ican ex-champion, by 4 to 1 and 1 drawn. In 189 1 he won the 
Lincolnshire championship and county trophy, and that year became 
the first champion of Scotland through a match with William 
Bryden of Glasgow, for ^100. He won the World's Championship 
from Wyllie in 1894, but lost it in 1896, to Richard Jordan, the 
present champion, by a score of 4 to 3 and 33 drawn. 



ROBERT STEWART. 



Robert Stewart was born at Blairadam, where he now lives, 
on the thirty-first of August, 1873, and is therefore 33 years of age. 
Of a quiet and unassuming nature, he carries his honors with a dis- 
cretion that is rarely met with in the arena of sport. Starting to 
practise the game when 14 years of age, he played in the Kelty Club 
competitions, and carried off premier honors three years in succession, 
thereby gaining the first-class medal outright. He played the "Herd 
Laddie", on that gentleman's return from his tour of the Antipodes,, 
when only 18 years of age. Six games were played, each having a 
win, and four games were drawn, the match ending level. He has 
played in seven Scottish draughts tournaments, winning premier 
honors on five occasions, being third the first year he contested. 
On his winning the championship three years in succession, he was 
made the recipient of a handsome gold medal from the Scottish 
Draughts Association, and for the past two years has left the com- 
petition open for other aspirants. 

He has played in three international matches against England, 
at London, Glasgow, and Newcastle-on-Tyne, and in all these 
matches he never lost a single game. He won the gold medal as- 
top scorer of the Scottish team at Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1903.. 



He has played R. Jordan, champion of the world, three times, and 
emerged victorious on one occasion. For the past two years he has 
been giving blind-fold exhibitions in different parts of the country, 
his last effort being at Carlisle on January 20th, 1905, when he 
played a team of 25 players simultaneously, several of them being 
noted players from Dumfrieshire and Cumberland — with the re- 
sult that he won 19 of the 25 games, there being 6 draws. That 
performance constitutes a record, there being five or six boards 
more than were ever attempted. In all his blind-fold exhibitions 
he has never lost a single game. 



GEORGE BUCHANAN. 



Born in St. Mundo, in 1876, and lives in Glasgow. Was cham- 
pion of Scotland in 1905, and winner again in 1906. A consistent 
and brilliant player in the Scottish tourneys since 1893, when at the 
age of 17 he was beaten in the finals by Stewart. He annotated the 
Scottish Tourney games of 1898 in a most creditable style. By com- 
mon consent he stands in the front rank of the world's great players. 

He enjoys with A. B. Scott, the distinction of being the only com- 
petitor who has taken part in all the Scottish tourneys. He has 
contested in three international matches with England and one with 
America. He won first in the 1906 Scottish tourney, against a 
formidable list of contestants, without losing a game. He possesses 
a remarkable memory and is equally good at analysis, blind-fold 
simultaneous and cross-board play. 



JAMES SEARIGHT. 



Born in Glasgow in 1869. At an early age he joined the Glasgow 
South Side Club, where he gained distinguished honors. Was 
engaged as trainer for Ferrie in the latter' s match with Bryden. He 
defeated M'Kelvie in 1892 for a stake of $250, and the championship 
of Glasgow; Searight, 11, M'Kelvie 1, drawn 11. He has played in 
every Scottish tourney since 1893, making creditable scores, and 
yet is the only member of the present Scottish team who has not 
won the championship. He was the only British player to win 
both from Heffner and Barker. 



ALLAN HYND. 



Allan Hynd was born in Dunfermline, in 1873, but has resided 
in Manchester, England, for most of his adult life. His checker 
career dates from 1885, when R. Martins' performances induced 
the boy to begin a serious study of the game. It was 10 years before 
he was in first-class company, but in 1895, was runner-up for the 
Lanchashire championship, and in 1897 and 1898 won the title. 
Among his noted matches was one against odds, with such a strong 
player as Atwell of London, which Hynd won easily. He also de- 
feated Freedman in 1899, in a set match on even terms, after Freed- 
man had offered odds. He is one of a family of checker players, 
his father, still living at 88, being a strong player, and two brothers 
are very good at the game. Mr. Hynd is a relative of Robert 
Stewart's, also a member of the team, and the two compare notes 
very thoroughly, for although residing in places far apart, their 
vacations are always spent together. 



WILLIE GARDNER. 



Willie Gardner is a native of Leeds, County of Yorkshire, 
where he was born in February of the year 1863. When 17 years 
of age he commenced to play checkers with his father, a fairly strong 
tutor, and shortly afterwards, through the medium of the Leeds 7 
Mercury Draughts Column, gained an introduction to the local 
checker circle which then consisted of Strickland Birkenshaw, 
F. Allen and C. G. Rodgers, besides many leading lights of but 
little inferior skill. With such antagonists he made rapid progress, 
a few years placing him in the front rank of English masters. 

In 1881 and '82 he played Marsden of Leeds and Barratt of 
Wakefield for small stakes and defeated them both. A subscription 
match with Beattie of Liverpool was also added to his credit in 
1883 by the score of 1 win and 5 games drawn. In 1885 a sub- 
scription match of 20 games with Strickland of Leeds ended in a 
tie, but a second match in 1886 for a stake of $250, was won by 
Gardner by 4 wins to 2, and 37 games drawn. Gardner contrib- 
uted his mite to the literature of the game some years ago, winning 
Janviers' prize for the greatest number of corrections published 



on Janviers' Anderson. His name is perhaps better known in con- 
nection with the 7-1 1 Will o' the Wisp pamphlet, published by 
Leggett and Gardner. 

Gardner's organizing powers are recognized by all who know 
him, as through his efforts and advice a number of English city and 
country organizations owe their existence. For many years he 
has held the blind-fold record, having twice played 22 games at 
checkers simultaneously without sight of the board. This number 
was passed in February last by Stewart playing 25, which Gardner 
purposes to again surpass shortly. He has played in four English 
championship tournaments, winning the first one under the Eng- 
lish Draughts Association management at Liverpool in 1888, and 
taking third prize at Leeds in 1902. In the London Tournament 
of 1 90 1 he won the consolation prize offered for those beaten in the 
first round. 



ALFRED JORDAN. 



Alfred Jordan was born in London, November 6, 1870. Learned 
the games of chess and draughts at a very early age. He is a charter 
member of the London Wanderers Club, and has always been a 
factor in the club competitions. He won the London championship 
cup in 1890, losing it shortly after to Mr. F. Tescheleit. Secured 
third prize in the English tourney of 1891, and won the champion- 
ship in the English tourney of 1892. In the same year he won back 
the London championship from Tescheleit, and held it for three 
years in succession, securing thereby the ownership of a cup, con- 
ditioned on three successive annual wins. In 1897 he became owner 
of a cup offered on conditions somewhat similar. On a third cup 
requiring 12 wins to secure ownership, Mr. Jordan has secured eight. 
(Adapted from Draughts World, Dec. 1892.) 



HERBERT MORRALL. 



Herbert Morrall was born at West Bromwich in 1874, but has 
lived in Liverpool since 1880. Much of his early life was at sea, 
first on the Isle of Man boat, and then in the South American trade. 

It was at this stage he took up checkers, under the guidance of 



J. McLennan, and rapidly established a claim as one of the strongest 
of English players. In an exhibition match with the famous Robert 
Martins, Martins won 2, Morrall 1, and 24 drawn, a very creditable 
record for relatively a beginner. He won the English national tour- 
ney in 1904. 



W. HALLIWELL. 



W. Halliwell, is a native of Duckinfield, near Manchester, 
England, is about 45 years of age, and has long been recognized as 
one of the strong players in the midland counties of England, though 
he has no championships in his record. His magnificent score 
against the strong players in the Scotland-England international 
match of 1904, prompted his selection for the transoceanic match. 



Of the ten members of the American team, Charles F. Barker and 
August J. Heffner have each held the championship of America, and 
Samuel Grover the championship of New England. George W. 
Dearborn, John F. Horr, L. S. Head, Dr. August Schaefer, H. B. 
Reynolds, John T. Denvir, and Willis G. Hill, while never holding 
championship honors, have an enviable reputation as players, and 
did their best to justify the confidence of their friends. 

CHARLES FRANCIS BARKER. 



Mr. Barker was born in Boston, U. S. A., March 11, 1856. 
He began to study the game when very young, and at 15 made the 
creditable score of 3 wins to 10, and 12 drawn with the famous 
"Herd Laddie", who was then touring America. With David 
Kirkwood, a noted Scotch player, who about that time settled in 
Boston, he made an even score of 2 each and 21 drawn. A similar 
result followed a meeting with W. H. Broughton, a noted American 
player. In a match for the American championship in 1878, Barker 
defeated C. Priest, by a score of 9 to 2 and 32 drawn; in a second 
match with the same player he won by 3 to 1 and 45 drawn. About 
1880 he was defeated by James Moir, who was making a tour of 

13 



the states. The score was 4 to o and 16 drawn. There was no stake - 
In 1 881 he played a match at Boston with J. P. Reed of Pittsburg, 
for the American championship and $400 and won 4 to 1. He 
next challenged Wyllie for $100 a side and the World's championship. 
The match played in Boston resulted in a draw, 1 each and 48 drawn. 

In 1885 he was challenged by Freeman of Providence, R. I., for 
the American Championship and lost by the score of Freeman 6: 
Barker 3, drawn 39. Soon after the title again changed hands in 
a match between Heffner of Boston and Freeman. Heffner was in 
turn challenged by Barker, and the match, played in Providence 
in 1886, resulted in a win for Barker 2 to 1 and 47 drawn. He was 
challenged by Reed in 1887 and won 5 to 1 and 41 drawn. Twice 
since then he has met Reed, losing the next match, and winning 
the last one in 1891. Mr. Barker has published two works on the 
game, "The World's Checker Book," and the "American Checker 
Player." 

For several years he edited a column in the Boston Globe. For 
a number of years he has been the controlling genius of Ajeeb, the 
Automaton, which has visited all the principal cities of the States, 
and is now located in Austin & Stone's Museum, Boston. 



AUGUST J. HEFFNER. 



August J. Heffner, born April 5, 1858. At an early age became 
attached to the game and soon developed great skill. Defeated 
by W. R. Barker in a five game match; Barker 1, Heffner o, drawn 4. 
Defeated C. F. Barker; Heffner 2, Barker, o, drawn 2. Lost to 
Yates: Yates 3, Heffner o, drawn 3. He defeated H. Z. Wright 
for a $50 stake in 1884; Heffner 7, Wright 3, drawn 10. Defeated 
Busby; Heffner 6, Busby 2, drawn 10. 

Heffner won the American championship from Freeman by a 
good score. Lost the Championship to Charles F. Barker; Barker 
2, Heffner 1, drawn 47. Since the last match Mr. Heffner has en- 
gaged in a few friendly matches and has been uniformly successful. 
His fame as an analyst is unsurpassed. He is now conducting a 
checker column in The Boston Herald, and for many years previous 
to 1902, conducted columns in The Boston Globe and Boston Post, 
successively.

SAMUEL GROVER. 



Samuel Grover was born in Avon, Maine, on Nov. 5, 1864. 
When a small boy, his parents moved to Farmington and it was here 
that his first insight into the game of checkers was acquired from 
S. S. Laughlin, who is to-day one of the strongest players in the state 
of Maine. 

In the year 1888 he came to Boston and entered the employ of 
the John P. Squires Co., and to-day holds one of the most respon- 
sible positions in this concern. Shortly after he came to the "Hub" 
he joined the Boston Checker Club, and became one of the leading 
spirits, and through his efforts, joined with other enthusiasts, was 
the means of bringing the Boston Checker Club to the high standard 
that it occupies to-day. 

Up to the time of the late International Match he had been a 
participant in nearly all tournaments and with one or two excep- 
tions captured first prize. He has only engaged in three public 
matches for a stake, but was successful in each contest. His first 
match for a stake, was in 1893, wnen he defeated H. Z. Wright for 
the championship of Massachusetts, the score standing at the close, 
Grover 8, Wright 2, drawn 19. His next opponent was Charles 
W. Lawson, champion of Rhode Island, who after five days' play 
met his Waterloo with the score: Grover 6, Lawson o, drawn 9. 
His next match was with Harry Freedman, the famous Scottish 
expert, who while on a visit to this country, challenged Mr. Grover 
to a match of 20 games for a stake of $400, and suffered defeat by 
the score, Grover 4, Freedman 2, drawn 13. 



GEORGE W. DEARBORN. 



George W. Dearborn was born in New Market, N. H., January 
13, 1855, at which place he lived until about nine years of age, when 
his parents moved to Biddeford, Me. Here he first commenced 
to play checkers under the tuition of his grandfather, Hatch Gordon, 
who was a strong natural player. Young Dearborn made rapid 
progress in the game and soon was able to hold his own with the 
best players of the vicinity. With more mature years he became 
well known throughout the country as a strong player, and has met 
and played, with varying results, most of the great players of his 
day. 

15 



Mr. Dearborn was for several years President of the New England 
Checker Association, and is an enthusiastic lover and worker for 
the good of the game. His love of sport has taken him to other 
fields besides checkers, and he has long been noted as an enthusi- 
astic hunter and fisherman at which pursuits he spends most of his 
spare time. 

In business he has been successful, and has always been noted for 
his uprightness and square dealing. At present he is superintend- 
ent of the Lowell Weaving Company, in whose services he has been 
since its organization in 1895. 



W. G. HILL. 



Willis Grant Hill was born in Grantville, Vt., February 12, 
1872, moving at an early age to Manchester, N. H. At the age of 
14, he commenced the study of checkers, and mastered the scien- 
tific points of the game very rapidly. As chances of cross-board 
play in the country were limited, he did not become prominent as 
a player until '94, when he defeated Arlie Oliver, the state champion, 
for a stake of $50 per side. 

Mr. Hill is one of the most promising of the younger American 
players. In the International Match he had but two weeks' notice 
of his selection to take the place of Mr. Clarence Freeman, of Prov- 
idence, R. L, who was unable to play on account of ill health. 



L. S. HEAD. 



L. S. Head was born Nov. 23, 1865, at Albany, N. Y. In 1886 
he moved to Minneapolis, Minn., and resided there until 1892, 
during which time he contested a match with Dr. W. E. Truax for 
the state championship and a stake of $100. The score was Head 
7, Truax 3, drawn 7. Mr. Head has not figured in match play to 
any great extent, although he has played nearly all the best Amer- 
ican players with creditable scores. 

His most notable achievement was in defeating J. P. Reed in 
1896, by score of 8 to 7 with 9 drawn in a series lasting a week. Mr. 
Head returned to Albany some eight years ago, and since that time 
has had very little cross-board practice, though still as interested 

16 



in the game as ever. He is now located at Bronxville, N. Y ., in 
the employ of J. J. Lannin, a well-known expert, and member of 
the Boston Checker Club. 



JOHN F. HORR. 



Born in Lima, Livingston Co., N. Y., Dec. 6, 1878; resided 
there until 1891, when he moved to Buffalo, N. Y. First played 
checkers at the old Y. M. C. A., on Mohawk St., where he became 
acquainted with Spayth and Muggridge and other celebrated players. 
In 1900 he visited New York City and won from the pick of the 
metropolitan players, including Dr. Schaefer, J. McEntee, and B. 
Coons. In the New York vs. Massachusetts team match of 1894, 
his games played with C. F. Barker, American Champion, were 
drawn. 



HARRAH B. REYNOLDS. 



Harrah B. Reynolds was born at Flushing, N. Y., May 21, 
1872. He graduated from the Rochester High School in 1889 
and the following fall entered the University of Rochester. Three 
years later he left college to accept an appointment in the Post 
Office Department, with which he is still connected. 

Mr. Reynolds has made his reputation as a checker player across 
the board, taking no interest in securing fame as an analyst 
or problemist. 

In the inter-state match, Massachusetts vs. New York State, 
Mr. Reynolds organized the New York State team, and on arrival 
at Boston was elected by them as captain, but was defeated by one 
win and two draws by A. J. HefTner. 

Mr. Reynolds is looked upon as one of the most brilliant and 
most capable of the younger American players. 



JOHN T. DENVIR. 



Mr. John T. Denvir was born in the city of Chicago, in the year 
1859; was graduated from St. Ignatius College. At the age of 18 



J 7 



he learned the printing trade. At the present time Mr. Denvir is 
a builder, having in course of erection at this time many buildings. 
Mr. Denvir is editor of the Checker Column in the Chicago Inter- 
Ocean, which he has ably conducted without missing an issue for 
over nineteen years. As an author Mr. Denvir has published a 
work on the "Single Corner", and Denvir's "Lessons on Checkers, 
of Checkers Simplified." In the year 1905 Mr. Denvir issued a 
work on Checkers, which has met with favorable commendation 
from all classes of players, known as "Denvir's 200 Traps and 
Shots." Mr. Denvir has also published "Durgin's Single Corner" 
"Denvir and Bradt's Second Double Corner"; "Truax Black 
Doctor"; "Barker-Reed Match Games"; "Tescheleit's Double 
Corner"; and the American Checker Review for a number of years. 



DR. AUGUST SCHAEFER. 



Dr. August Schaefer, was born in New York City, Dec. 24, 1856. 
He was accounted one of the best of the metropolitan players when 
in his teens, and at 20 years began his checker career by winning 
a match of J. Dempster, an old time expert, by a score of 7 wins 
to 9 drawn, Dempster none. A match with H. Z. Wright, played 
at Danbury, Conn., soon after the Dempster match, was his first 
good performance, each winning two games. 

He was a classmate, and during this period, an associate of the 
famous Dr. Yates, and has since played against Wyllie, Barker, 
Freeman, Reed, Heffner, Priest, Moir and others, with creditable 
scores. He is an indefatigable writer on checkers, particularly 
in the problem side of the game, has published numerous booklets 
on checkers and has a large experience in the field of lecturing on 
checker play, before clubs in and around New York.

B. One would not fancy this at first glance, it however appears 
sound. 

C. Weakens the black position, a more simple line of procedure 
would have been 6-9, 32-27, 11-16, etc., drawn. 

D. Many of the spectators watching the large wall board, were 
condemning Hill for not making what appeared to them a simple 
draw by 22-26, 30-23, 8-12. The continuation shows as is usual 
in such cases, how easily they would have lost it thus, 15-8, 12-26, 
18-15, 7-11, 25-30, 11-18, 28-24, W. W.

A. Now a variation of the Dyke brought up as follows: 11-15, 
22-17, I 5" I 9; 23-16, 12-19, 24-1& 10-19, 25-22, 9-14, 17-10, 6-15. 
It is seldom brought up from this opening, as black have much 
stronger play than 9-14 at the 9th move. The position is brought 
up in various ways, but more generally from 9-14, 22-17, than any 
other, and in published play is frequently classed as Double Corner 
Dyke. 

B. It would be well to keep this man on 22 a while longer, the ob- 
ject of this is well illustrated in the Dearborn-Buchanan game, 
numbered 45. The old-fashioned way in the days gone by was 
to play 27-24, but through their tourney competitions across the 
water, it was discovered to run the man once by 27-23 is much 
stronger. The whole idea is to coax the man on 9 on to 14, it will 
be observed that in this as well as all other games of this descrip- 
tion played in this match, it has always been avoided. The Amer- 
icans had a crude knowledge of some of its fine points, but the 
British, through their tourney competitions, had them all down 
to a fine edge.

A. Formerly known as Bristol, and still so called by many. Owing 
to numerous other accepted formations originating from this 
move, it loses its former distinct feature of completing the opening, 
and stands in the same relation to other openings as the 11-15 
move, the remaining one move openings do not seem to have 
reached this stage of development, though we think the Kelso 
is ripe for such a slicing. 

B. .10-15 would make it a Kelso. In going through our MSS., 
we fail to find this move taken before, though no doubt play on 
it has appeared. 

C. The position at this point can come from the Dundee thus: 
12-16, 21-17, 16-20, 17-13, 11-15, 2 4 -I 9> I 5 _2 4? 28-19, 8-12, 22-18, 
9-14, 18-9, 5-14, 25-22. 

D. Mr. Jordan could have at any time to here, brought the play 
into known ground. 

E. This move loses, 10-15 draws, but when playing, it looked 
very bad, 6-9 also draws, but was not considered. 

F. 6-10 may be better, but does not look very promising. 

G. 17-14 would have won. Mr. Head was first to point this out 

27 



to us, the win is a simple one, and, strange to say, escaped the 
notice of both players. The diagram shows the position.

A. It was customary at one time to make this 24- ig at a much 
earlier stage, and still remains so with many American players, 
as will be seen further along in this book. It, was Freedman, we 
believe, who first delayed it to this late stage in a game with 
Ferrie, in one of the Scotch tourneys. It is far superior to the old 
way, and places black on the defensive. 

B. Black appears compelled to make this move and allow the stroke. 

C. Scotch tourney 1902, Gall vs. Buchanan, the former played 
22-25. This 1-6 looks dangerous.

A. Differs from the preceding game, and is the old-fashioned way 
of lining up the white game and appears to be the favorite with 
Americans. It however, is slightly inferior to the line favored 
by the visitors. 

B. In a team match, Boston vs. New England, Heffner vs. Freeman, 
played several years ago, the latter played 30-25. This, and 28-24 
as well as the text move, lead to a good sound game. 

C. In earlier matches, this move was brought out at a much earlier 
stage, Heffner was first to conceive the idea of holding it back. 

D. In their first match for the championship of America, Freeman 
vs. Barker, the latter went 1-5, and Freeman won by a handsome 
stroke. A narrow draw by avoiding the stroke was later shown 
by Willie Gardner of Leeds. In a game the next session, Barker 
came back at Freeman with this 6-9 and the latter was tricked 
into a stroke that lost. 

. This move loses, and was supposed to be known to every player 
of note, 30-25, and the continuing play shows the best way.

A. This is now the generally accepted formation of the Bristol. 

B. Lee's Guide says this is a good line, but in our opinion it is 
inferior to the orthodox 8-n and 8-12. 

C. Lee's Guide gives 27-24, but 17-13 or 29-25 are stronger. 

D. This move leads to a very weak game. 

E. We think black should draw after this, but 13-9 we believe 
will win. 

F. This wrecks black's game, 1-5 looks good enough to draw.

Drawn 



A. Now a Kelso Cross, its combinations are most complex, even 
more so than the Laird and Lady. 

B. Best by far, though 8-12, also draws, and 6-10 is weak. 

C. One of the main points of this game is to keep the man on 25 
as long as possible, otherwise blacks are best. 

D. First played several years ago between Heffner and Grover, 
and strange to say, without any prearranged plan, was generally 
adopted by the Americans throughout this match. The Amer- 
icans from lack of proper organization failed to consult from day 
to day, and were continually running into one another's play 
without being aware of it. The British on the other hand, adopted 
the 8-12 line. 

E. The mechanical way in which all the British made this move 
shows that it was prearranged. The Americans, on the other 
hand, from lack of any organization, answered it in various ways, 
just as the position appealed to their fancy. In the game men- 
tioned between Heffner and Grover the latter here played 32-27, 
4-8, 27-23, 8-12, 23-18, 3-7, 18-11, 19-24, etc., and black has an 
advantage on the ending.

A. Varies from Dearborn in the previous game, and leads to more 
complicated play. 

B. Cramps the black game, as it allows white to command the 
center of the board, 3-7 is much more forceful. 

C. This move loses, 1-5 will draw. 

D. The jump to 19 will win thus:

A. Varies from preceding game. 

B. The orthodox play is 9-14 and 1-6, this appears equally as 
sound. 

C. 15-18 we think the best reply, and leads to some interesting 
play. The following seems as good as white have.

D. Blacks real trouble begins here, 12-16 in an attempt to run 
the man through to 30 is much better, and draws.

A. Looks very much like the Millbury, and can be brought up 
from that opening, but seldom is, as the black formation is slightly 
inferior to the Millbury. 

B. Best, though 4-8 also draws but gives white a somewhat stronger 
pull. 

C. 4-8 can be brought out again at this point, but note B covers 
its value.

A. 26-23 is best here. 

B. Very bad, there may be a draw after this, but there is so much 
better play it is not worth considering. 19-15 draws easy thus: 
10-19, 24-15, 18-22, 26-17, 11-18, 27-23, 18-27, 31-24, drawn.

A. Forms the Switcher. 

B. This is considered a very strong attack. 

C. In years gone by, 31-26 was the move invariably taken, we be- 
lieve it is still considered sound though questionable. For sev- 
eral years past, and to the present, this 25-21 is made with a reg- 
ularity that seems to make it the unanimous choice. 

D. Nothing new has been introduced; this game with slight var- 
iations towards the end has been played in numerous contests 

v the best of talent abroad.

A. Varies from preceding game and is another very strong line. 

B. 13-9 would lose by 14-18. 

C. .In a game between the late veterans Martins and Wyllie, the 
latter played 23-19 and lost. Mr. Dunne published play showing 
the draw by 23-18, and gets the credit for the play, though we 
believe it was known to both the veterans before his play ap- 
peared. 

D. 11-15 would lose by 3-7. The game is played from C to D 
exactly as Dunne gave it.

A. Forms a variation of the Dyke. 

B. The British team claim this the losing point, and the Americans 
were inclined to accept these conclusions, however, in preparing 
the play we are unable to prove it so. Mr. Tescheleit published 
play on this 8-12 some few years ago showing a draw. Mr. 
Dearborn followed in his footsteps to a point where Mr. Buchanan 
puts in a move that annihilates the Tescheleit draw. 

In the team match, New York vs. Massachusetts, Dearborn 
and Head, this same position arose but by a different order of 
moves; in that game, Dearborn played 3-7, and play continued 
with 27-24, 1-5, 22-17, 8 " 12 , 3!- 2 7> i5- l8 > 24-15, 10-19, 27-24, 
18-22, 24-15, 22-31, 15-10, Drawn. 

C. Tescheleit' s move and we believe the loser. The position previ-

D. Tescheleit gave 22-17, this is the correcting move. 

E. The innocent looking move that does the trick. 

F. 14-18 is no better. 

G. 9-14 the most natural looking move, runs into a published loss. 

Since the foregoing has been in type, we learn a narrow draw has 
been shown for black at the 29th move of game by playing 10-14 
instead of 1-5 as given.

Referring again to the 2-7 move at note C, it is quite plain that the 
time limit is responsible for the bad play. Any first-class player 
can see that it leads to a cramped game, but that it would lose is 
too difficult to see in the required time, on the other hand, the 
draw play arising from the 10-14 can be seen clear to the end by 
all first-class players, but all this requires more than five minutes. 

D. 16-20 is no better thus:

C. Horr misses a win. 



The losing move is liable to be made 
under any time limit, but given time one is not so apt to miss the win. 
Mr. Horr told his friends at the conclusion of this game, that he 
believed he missed a win; he can charge this failure up to the time 
limit.

A. The game has now run into a position of the Kelso Exchange, 
brought up from that opening in the following order of moves.

Then 1-6 and the position is the same as above at A, and was 
first played we believe between C. F. Barker and C. H. Freeman 
in their last match at Providence, R.I. In a match previous with 
James Smith of Spennymoor, England, Barker instead of 1-6, 
played 14-17, and by very hard play managed to draw.

B. Not best, 32-28 as played by Freeman against Barker is much 
stronger. 

C. Under what hypnotic spell was our Samual laboring when mak- 
ing this ? 5-9 draws. See diagram.

Grover appeared in the same mental rut as in the previous game, and 
resigned here. 

A. Varies from the previous game and is a slight improvement. 

B. Paves the way for Gardner to make an open and easy game. 

C. Gardner takes quick advantage for the easy line. 

D. There was nothing to gain with this, and white should have 
played for the easiest draw possible by 26-23.

A. This at one time was considered about as formidable an attack 
as 22-18, there were some who even considered it stronger; it is r 
however, fast losing its terrors. 

B. This seems to take the sting out of the 18-14 cut, it was first 
introduced by Mr. Lees. 

C. Something new in important play, though it has figured before 
in less serious contests. White has plenty of scope for variety 
without endangering their game. 

D. If 11-16, or 12-16 the line up by 26-23 gives white a powerful 
attack. 1 

E. 7-10 appeals to us as very good here, though it may be no im- 
provement on the move taken.

C. Now into a variation of the Single Corner that Wyllie used to 
play considerable when not engaged in serious play, coming up 
from the Single Corner thus: 11-15, 22-18, 15-22, 25-18, 8-11, 
24-19, 9-13. 

D. Somewhat unusual, 10-15 and 4-8 or 11-16 are more common. 

E. 24-20 would lead to an easy game, the move taken is decidedly 
weak, our first impression was that the white game was hopeless, 
and it was only by the most minute inspection we were able to knit 
the drawing moves together. It looks as though Barker wanted 
to play 31-26, but was deterred by the trap from 12-16, the prob- 
abilities are he had consumed or rather wasted his time on it, 
and finding it unsatisfactory made this move without much con- 
sideration, it is only another case where the time limit is the cause 
of producing inferior play. We present a diagram of the situa- 
tion with play. 

F. Hynd fails to rise to his opportunity. 

G. 20-16, 8-12, 15-n, 21-25, 3°~ 2I > 2_ 6, etc., draws.

A. Now into well traversed ground, coming up frequently from 
9-14, 22-17 an d 11-16, 22-17. 

B. Some nice games have resulted from 26-23 in tourneys played 
abroad. 

C. Freedman, we believe, was first to publish play on this move, 
claiming at the time a black win, a sound draw was later discovered, 
the play we unfortunately do not possess, and in the subjoined 
play we are probably repeating the play of others before us. 

D. 16-12, 19-23, 12-3, 5-9. B. W. 

E. This seems to lose, the following draws.

to win. 

G. Hynd's second mistake, the man cannot be followed with 5-9 
as black can play 11-16, 9-18, 20-24, B. W. 1-6, however, would 
have drawn as white could follow with 6-10, forcing an exchange, 
gaining the move.

A. Now the same as game No. 33, Halliwell and Grover. 

B. Varies from game No. ^. See note B. of game 33. 

C. 19-16 leads to some interesting play. Freedman played it in 
his match with R. Jordan for the championship with a drawn 
result. 17-13 would make the positions identical. Mr. Dunne 
played it against R. Jordan in February 1903, with a drawn result. 

D. Wyllie against Bryden jumped 5-14, play continued 19-15, 
11-18, 23-19, 18-23, etc., drawn. Mr. Dunne points out, instead 
of 18-23, play 12-16, 19-12, 18-22, and black has a strong game. 

E. The position again has become the same as game No. 33 
Halliwell and Grover, at the 34th, move and finished the same.

B. Varies from that game. 

C. While in all probabilities a draw can be established after this 
move; still it leads to a very hard end game, The diagram shows 
the position with a line of play which does not leave much room

A. Varies from the previous game. 

B. Barker, in his match for the championship with R. Jordan, 
jumped 6-22. Lee's Guide gave the 6-24 jump as a loser. 



74 



C. Lee's Guide gives 25-22 to win, but we believe this has since 
been corrected. 

D. Weakens the white game, and gives a hard ending, 17-13 draws 
easy thus: 7-11, 32-27, 24-28, 27-24, 19-23, etc., drawn.

A. From the Kelso the moves are brought up in this order, 10-15, 
23-19, 15-18. Until the Barker- Jordan match, all the pub- 
lished play on this line arose from the Kelso, one of the earlier 
writers in publishing play on it, named it the Volunteer, but apart 
from his own, very little if any play appeared on it, until within 
the past few years. It is certainly an inferior move for black to 
make whether arising from the Denny or Kelso. 

B. Jordan in his match with Barker played 4-8. 

C. In the team match, Massachusetts vs. New York, Reynolds 
against Heffner played 26-23. 

D. The pieces on both sides set exactly alike, a feature that occurs 
in contested play more frequently from the Kelso than any other 
opening. 

E. Mr. Morrall duplicates his opponents moves once too often, 
as this move loses, it is no discredit, however, the move being the 
most natural, and probably neither player realized there was 
any material advantage one way or the other, the draw play is 
very interesting and is given with diagram. 

F. Morrall makes this pretty stroke, and then after a short survey 



resigns.

G. 6-24, *22-i5, and white draws quite handily. 

H. A peculiar feature and one that rarely occurs in the same game, 
in fact a curiosity in a way is, that if black now plays 14-18, whites 
have the identical winning position that Dr. Schaefer had with the 
black pieces at the 22nd move, but the probabilities of black 
dropping into the loser are not very great, as they can also draw 
by 5-9, thus:

A. Varies from previous game, and is also a very good line. 

B. Looks very weak, but it is not easy to see how white can better 
their play. 

C. Well played, and seems to be all that's left. It takes the sting 
out of the white attack. 

D. Black's chances of going wrong would probably have been 
greater by the following: 

25 22 11 25 24 6 8 11 28 24 59 17 14 

18 25 30 21 1 10 26 22 10 15 23 18 19 28 ;

An original and very interesting game. 

A. The position can also be brought up as follows: 

11 16 8 11 11 15 16 20 48 15 24 8 11 12 19 
22 17 25 22 17 13 29 25 24 19 28 19 19 16 23 16 
Then 11-15, 22-17 an d we have the same position as at A. 

B. Best, though 7-1 1 looks promising, and leads to some very 
critical and interesting play. 

7 11 2 11 3 7 24 28 28 32 9 18 32 23 

16 7 30 25^-32 27 26 23 18 14 23 14 14 9 Drawn. 

79 



C. 18-22 looks stronger. 

D. Some months after the close of the match, the position at B 
arose in a game played at Chicago, and continued to here, when 
Hefter played 26-23, the position became the subject of much 
interest and discussion, the final conclusion reached being a 
black win. An extract of this play runs thus: 

26-23, 24-27, 31-24, 20-27, 18-14, 9" l8 > 2 3" I 4, 5-9, i4-5> 2 7-3i- 
White, though a man up, cannot retain it, and black wins.

W. W. 

A. Also brought up thus: 11-16, 22-17, 8-12. 

B. Same as game 54, Ferrie and Hill, at 4th move. 

C. Varies from Mr. Hill and keeps it out of the Paisley. The 
position arises more frequently from the following order of moves : 
11-16, 22-18, 8-11, 18-14, 10-17, 21-14, 9 -][ 8, 23-14, 4-8, 26-23. 
The opening moves, 11-16, 22-18, are classified by many as Mill- 
bury, this title originated with E. A. Durgin in honor of the late 
R. E. Bowen of that town. 

D. In the Stewart- Jordan and Barker- Jordan matches, 16-19 is 
taken. 

E. A draw after this is very doubtful. Mr. Denvir offers the fol- 
lowing to draw.

THIRD DAY'S PLAY.

a-4 8 c-24 19 11 15 22 17 15 18 

A. Now the same as game 53. Hill and Ferrie. 

B. Hill played 11-16. Without a previous knowledge of the play, 
we believe that nine out of ten players would consider the move 
taken by Dearborn very strong, nevertheless a draw after it is 
very doubtful. 

C. Now into the Paisley, and originally brought up as follows: 

11 16 811 48 16 20 11 16 9 14 5 14 
24 19 22 18 25 22 30 25 22 17 18 9 26 22 

Play on this line showing the dangerous nature of the black game 
was published more than 20 years ago. It was the odd way that 
Stewart brought it about that probably set Dearborn adrift. 

D. 6-22, 25-18, 10-14, 18-9, 5-14, 29-25, 7-10, 25-22, 11-15, 2 3-!8 
and black can win.

B. Won 



A foot-note in the copy book, evidently placed there by Dearborn, 
reads, after about 3 hours more play, Stewart wins. Of course 
the position as it stands is a draw, Mr. Dearborn stating that he 
got so tired out he was unable to do himself justice. 

A. Varies from game No. 17, Barker arid Searight. 

B. Unnecessary to draw, and looks like borrowing trouble. See 
diagram.

w. w. 

A. To here the game has been finely played by both players, and 
continued to the end in masterly style by Jordan, aided of course 
by a number of poor moves of his opponent, who seemed for a 
time to utterly fail to realize the danger of his position. 

B. An easy game here would run: 

14 18 18 23 15 18 10 19 23 26 18 23 26 31 23 26 

12 8 8 3 19 15 24 15 38 15 10 9 5 Drawn. 

C. 18-23, 19-15, 10-19, 2 4 _I 5> 14-18 draws easily. 

D. 30-26, 11-7, 2-11, 10-15, 11-18, 14-30, 22-26, 30-23, 31-27. 

Drawn. 

E. Again 30-26 is the proper move. From here for quite a number 
of moves Reynold's play looks senseless. 

F. The beginning of a strong grip. 

G. No hope for black after this. The diagram illustrates the 
finale of one of the finest pieces of checker strategy during the 
match.

A. Very odd and not choice looking, but the move was probably 
no stranger to Ferrie. 

B. Most likely this idea of a combination came unexpectedly on 
the American. 

C. Very bad, such poor play on Grover 's part is hard to account 
for, 31-27 draws easily.

A. The first move of course, forms Kelso, but when this reply is 
made it is commonly classed Kelso Exchange. 

B. It certainly looks as if white should win, but we failed to find 
any. 

C. If 26-23, *7-io, 23-19, *9~i4, 18-9, 11-15 and black draws. 

D. Grover fails to make the most of a strong position. 26-23 
would have been much better, and kept Ferrie on the anxious seat.

Subscribers are indebted to Mr. J. G. Carruthers of London, 
for the following improvement on Mr. Grover's play. It is much 
stronger and makes the position critical for the second player; 
it forces the white pieces throughout the entire ending as follows:

A. Varies from game 94, Grover and Ferrie. 

B. 1 7-1 is the best capture. At the close of this day's play, the 17-1 
was well dissected by the British team, and the black draw, if 
any, was found so narrow that the game was considered by them 
untenable, Heffner fell into this dragnet when playing Searight 
on the eighth day. 

C. In the thirteenth Scottish national tourney,- Ferrie with the 
blacks, slipped here, playing 10-15, an d Buchanan scored the 
win thus: 31-26, 22-31, 24-20, 31-24, 28-10, W. W.

A. Now into a variation of Paisley. 

B. Very strong. 

C. The proper continuation. 

93 



D. A satisfactory game for black after this is very hard to find. 
In the 1903 Scotch tourney, Bryden against Scott, played 9-13, 
24-19, 7-1 1, 22-18, 3-7, etc., with a drawn result. 

E. The game has run into a losing variation of the Bristol Cross,. 
brought up thus: 

11 16 16 20 10 14 7 10 9 13 13 22 5 14 15 
•23 18 24 19 18 15 22 17 27 23 25 9 29 25 32 27 

This way of bringing up the position, black's last move 1-5, is 
the loser, and 3-7 the move to draw. 

F. 3-7 may be better, 2-7 Mr. Head shows will lose thus: 

27 8 11 4 11 6 9 10 19 7 14 3 10 9 13 
25 22 15 8 22 17 19 15 17 10 23 7 27 23 26 22

22 18 23 7 26 23 32 28 31 27 22 15 27 24 B. W. 



A. A draw after this is very doubtful. 

B. A better way here would run as follows: 

27 23 6 15 29 25 19 26 18 15 26 30 15 11 19 24 
10 15 21 17 15 19 14 5 11 18 25 21 26 23 20 16 
19 10 12 16 17 14 16 19 22 15 30 26 11 8 23 18 

And black still has a strong pull.

A. Probably no move at so early a stage has received the attention 
of the experts that this one has in their efforts to establish a sat- 
isfactory draw. 

B. We think time will prove 10-15 the best reply here. 

C. A favorite with the London champion. 

D. 16-19, 24-15, 11-18, and white still have a very strong pull, 
but we would prefer it to 8-12. 

E. No object except to try to make a clearance.

B. W. 



A. Varies from game 105, and admits of much neat and tricky 
play, still it is quite a risk to make this move as white are con- 
siderable strongest. It worked very well, however, in this case. 

B. We do not think black's game can be drawn after this move. 

C. The trap that Gardner played for looked innocent enough, 
but was his undoing. 

D. Gardner might have saved himself some trouble by playing it 
short, but failing to notice the will-of-the- wisp nature of his 
trap he completes it. 

E. Some concluded that this was a slip, but that white could have 
done better is questionable. 

F. 13-9 would have been better, but the ending still looks hard. 
The diagram shows the very tricky and critical situation at C P 
with our ideas for a white win.

A. This is also brought up from the double Corner thus: 9-14, 
24-19, 11-16. 

B. 5-9 would have kept the game in a Double Corner line. 

C. There is very little for either side to play for after this. A more 
preferable line would be 27-24. 16-20, 32-28, 20-27, 31-24, and 
white has the best game. 

D. 5-9 would have cut out the necessity of any fancy play to draw.

23-7, 3-10, 25-18, 9-14, 18-9, 5-14, 29-25, 10-15, 26-22, and Wyllie 
won.

There were some present who felt that Barker was doing his 
worthy opponent an injustice by persisting in playing the ending 
previous to reaching the diagrammed setting, but Halliwell's 
confession after the game that he had not the remotest idea what 
was being played for, and thought his opponent must be getting 
crazy for trying to win such an ending justified the effort. 

A. Varies from game 67, Grover and Gardner.

A. Although the order of moves are altered from game 113, 8- n 
now would bring about the same position at this point. 

B. 27-23 followed by 32-27 would have made easy sailing, but 
Halliwell most likely was looking for better. 

C. A long and tedious ending; many expected to see Halliwell 
fall as in the previous game. The evening session had begun be- 
fore this same was concluded.

A. Varies from game 14, Ferrie and Denvir. 30-25 as shown in 
note E of that game is good. 

B. In their first match for the championship of America, Barker 
and Freeman, the latter played 26-22, Barker pulling off the 
trick thus: 21-30, 15-11, 8-15, 23-18, 16-23, 18-2, 30-26, 2-9, 26-17, 
27-18, 20-27, 3 2 ~ 2 3} 17-22. Black wins. 

C. Made to prevent white from securing this neat draw.

D. White need not disturb the man on 18 at all to make a draw. 

E. In the team match, Massachusetts vs. New York, Grover 
against Ryan, the former did not allow the stroke and played 
25-21, it prolongs but does not alter the final result.

break off when the final result becomes apparent.

D. 9-13 would lose, it looks tempting. 

E. The sequel to 32-27 at B. 

F. Very bad and aimless, 16-19 is much stronger and may draw. 

G. The copy book does not carry the game any further, but this 
is sufficient.

B. Sound, but not as good as 1-5 or 3-8.

A. Varies from game 61, A. Jordan and Denvir. 

B. Dr. Schaefer, Grover, and some others of the American team 
stated this was a departure from published play and agreed whites 
were beaten, but they are mistaken, the move is an old one and 
belongs to the late Wyllie. 

C. This is where the losing move comes in. Wyllie gives the fol- 
lowing fine draw:

B. Varies from game 74, Heffner and Halliwell. 

C. The game has become exceedingly critical and contains play 
of a very high quality. 

D. A genuine dodger move. 

E. Mr. Searight saw the following pretty termination, but sought 
for greater results. 21-17, I 5 _2 4, 17-145 9-18, 23-14, 2-18, 32-14, 
Drawn. 

E. That Mr. Searight committed a dangerous mistake in not 
taking the easy way as he saw it at E, is now apparent. The 
diagram shows the critical nature of the position at this point.

We would suggest 16-20, and while we still think white can probably 
draw, it would occasion no surprise to see a black win proven. 

G. At the conclusion of the game, both Mr. Searight and Rey- 
nolds thought that 31-27 would have won, but 21-17 seems to 
draw against that move.

Reynolds fails to perceive that black and not white are on the

A. Varies from game 88, Buchanan and Heffner. 

B. 30-26 is the proper reply here. 

C. This winning combination was known for several years by all 
the British players, and it was thought here that all the Amer- 
ican team was acquainted with jt, but it seems not.

B. Varies from game 73, Halliwell and Heffner. 

C. Loses. 7-1 1 was played by Ferrie in a game with A. Jordan 
and draws. The fatal lack of team work on the part of the Amer- 
icans is again seen here, for three of them failed to solve the prob- 
lem at this point, Horr on the fourth day, and the other two on 
the tenth, when A. Jordan won it from Grover and Buchanan 
should have from Schaefer. 

D. 26-22 as played by Buchanan against Schaefer also wins.

A. Forms Double Corner Bristol. It is not our aim to try to add to 
an already long list of titles, and have done so only for the pur- 
pose of reference for subscribers of this book. 



B. Weak. 16-20, 18-9, 6-22, 26-17, * s the accepted continuation; 

it has figured much in the play of the visitors for some years, but 

practised very little on this side, hence the American was easily 

lured into an inferior position early in the game. 
C The key that demonstrates the black weakness arising from 

4-8 at B. 

D. The correct take, if 23-16, then 11-20 would give blacks a good 
position. 

E. A draw after this is very questionable, it was, however, quite 
natural for the American to take it. Mr. Horr, no doubt, was 
not over pleased with the situation, and chose to take his chances 
with this clearance, the able manner in which it was met reflects 
great credit on Mr. Jordan. 

F. Quite odd and very cute, and we suspect unexpected by Mr. 
Horr.

A. A favorite defense with the old school of players many years 
ago, it was gradually and practically abandoned for the 2-6 which 
at its introduction was considered superior, its inherent weak 
spots were slowly uncovered, but so slow that players who had 
adopted it kept pace with them, and still cling to it. Mr. A. Jor- 
dan, however, has for some few years past cast it aside, and re- 
turned to the old love, and not without considerable success. 
As a tactician in selecting his lines of play he stands far in the lead 
over any player in England.

A. This is weak, and gives white decidedly the best game. 

B. White secures a grip that almost wins. 

C. 12-16 looks inviting, but we question its soundness.

D. The game looked nigh hopeless here, and we decided herein 
lie the only hope. 

E. 4-8 loses by 22-17. 

F. If 23-18, 7-1 1 will draw. 

G. At the conclusion of the game, Mr. Gardner said he saw we 
had a draw in sight, and considered this the strongest way, we 
do not quite agree however, for both 18-14 and 20-16 appealed 
to us as somewhat stronger, though a draw can be shown against 
either.

A. Varies from game 18, Searight and Barker. 

B. An unfortunate incident occurred here that happily caused 
no great harm. We had decided on 24-20, and was intently 
studying the effect of 23-19. Less than a minute and a half had 
been consumed, when we were startled by the call of time; we 
did not doubt its accuracy, but the time passed out so rapidly that 
it confused us some, and for the moment forgot about our intended 



126 



reply, and hastily played 23-19. We mentioned the matter im- 
mediately after the game, and the time-keeper explained the mis- 
take in this wise. His attention had been attracted to another 
part of the hall, he had not noticed that Gardner in the mean- 
time had made his move, and when he again referred to his watch, 
he found that this time had expired, and did not realize his 
mistake until we answered to the call.

A. The earliest record we have of this position is, that it occurred 
in the 1899 Scotch tourney, and again in the tourney of 1902 be- 
tween Stenhouse and Henderson. It came up since but from' 
the Double Corner opening in the Massachusetts vs. New York 
state tourney, between Dr. Schaefer and Parrow, by the follow- 
ing order of moves. Parrow played the blacks.

B. The annotaters of the 1899 tourney note this move saying it 
may draw. 19-23 was the move taken in that game, and the 
following pretty win is shown.

D. 10-6 only draws. In the 1902 tourney and the team match 
Massachusetts vs New York, both Henderson and Dr. Schaefer 
play 10-7, Parrow by correct play drew, but Stenhouse lost.

win, but blacks draw quite cleverly.

A. Now into what is known as the Flora Temple line. 

B. The tricks hidden behind this homely and awkward looking 
move are very deceptive and brilliant. The Americans had hopes 
the British were unacquainted with its finer points, but found the 
Scotch contingent thoroughly informed, the Boston Herald rep- 
resentative in preparing it for the press called it the Dodger, a 
name that seems to have stuck. 

C. Later on in the match Barker got a chance to put the Dodger 
on to Gardner, who it appears, was unacquainted with its finest 
points, he cut off 26-22, here which opens the way for a very fine 
black win, but owing to an oversight on Barker's part he escaped 
with a draw. 

D. Barker got the Dodger on again on the last day with R. Jordan, 
but not being as well seasoned on the play as he thought, got 
slightly mixed or twisted, he played 6-10 and Jordan scored the 
win. 

E. White can again fall into the loss mentioned at C, by cutting 
26-22, 17-26, 30-23, 5-9, 14-5, 7-10. For continuation, see game 
228, Barker and Gardner.

H. Morrall had heard of the Dodger being tried on Stewart, and 
reviewed the play, but when it came his turn to face it against 
Denvir he scrutinized it more closely, and thought to improve on 
Stewart, he jumped 26-19 and saw a few moments after the 
Scotch sacrifice that upset his little plan, and lost the game in 

disgust.

25-21, Draws; but 25-22 instead of 14-9 loses, and 31-26 gives, 
black a trap by 12-16, 19-12, 3-8, 12-3, 11-16, 3-10, 6-31. When 
playing we thought this trap would eventually give black a win,, 
but upon examining it since, we find white can draw.

A. Gives the Kelso a Bristol appearance, the difference being the 
piece on 11 instead of 10. 

B. First introduced we believe in play by Ferrie. 

C. A favorite with most the players in this match, and made to 
prevent the piece on 9 being placed on 14. 

D. This break up was invariably taken for otherwise black secures 
a very commanding game.

Then 1-5 B. W. 

A. Varies from game 185, and leads to some nice play. 

B. Weak, and probably the loser, 30-26, draws, and gives white a 
full half of the game. The following while probably not the best 
that can be got from this move, is at least quite pretty, and answers 
the purpose of establishing a draw.

A. First played by Barker, in his first match with Freeman for the 
championship of America. Of late years it seems to have lost 
its charm, for 3-7 is now more general. 

B. Freeman played 22-18. 

C. Quite natural yet loses, Reynolds is quite sharp at tricks, and 
no doubt saw the effect of this one before setting it up. 

D. The move that fooled Hynd, and wrecked his prospects of a 
black win-

A. Varies from games 58 and 175. 17-14 is more usual, the text 
ifirst came to our notice as being played by Ferrie against Freed- 
man in one of the Scottish tourneys. 

B. Freedman played 6-10 and a very interesting game resulted 
therefrom. 

C. The position is very deceptive here. 

D. Well played, and the only sound move as well. 

E. Loses, but quite excusable. Reynolds was on new ground 
from A, while his opponent most likely was acquainted with the 
play. 9-13 also loses by 22-18, 13-22, *26-i7- The draw is a. 
very narrow one. See diagram.

A The game from here to the end is played exactly the same as 
one played between Heffner and Barker for the American 
championship. 

B. Several years after the Heffner-Barker match game, Reed against 
Barker played 8-12, which brought the play into a very old and 
. well known ending, arising originally from another opening, the 
text books give Reed the credit for the play in the body of this 
game, while the insignificant little bit from B to the end is credited 
. as played between Heffner and Barker.

A. Varies from game 197, It makes a distinct line, and does not 
enter into any of the other known combinations arising from the 

opening move, 11- 16. 

B. For want of a distinguishing title we have named this the Bris- 
tol Glasgow. It resembles the latter opening very much. 

C. 11-15, 28-24, 2-6, 14-10, 15-18, Drawn. 

D. Looks like the only move to draw. 

E. 10-14 looks good. 

F. 19-23 much better and draws easy. In playing 18-22 Barker 
set himself a most difficult problem to solve. 

G. The move that pinches the black ending, Barker, however, 
played it in magnificent form and drew what looked like a hopeless 
position. (See diagram.)

B. 6-9 playing for the counterpart would be good play.

C. Blacks seem to have a very hard game from here. 

D. 10-6 looks strong enough to win. 

E. 28-24, 20-27, 11-20, 27-32, 19-15 is the way this game should 
have been played here. 

F. This move should have lost. 

G. Mr. Barker failed to see the neat shot that would have given 
him a win, instead of which he again had to give a display of his 
ability to draw a seemingly lost game.

There was some dispute over the correctness of this, both Barker

A. 11-15 forming the Switcher and keeping the play on known 
ground was with this one exception the favored move. 

B. 24-19, 11-15, 3° _2 5, 15-24, 28-19, 6-9, 32-28, 2-6, and we have 
a combination brought up in various ways that has figured prom- 
inently in Scottish tourneys. No doubt Mr. Stewart in playing 
9-14 at the previous move had this in view, and if successful, 
would have had his opponent at a disadvantage, being another case

B. W. 



A. Varies from game 57, Searight and Horr, and shows how well 
groomed is this young player on the known tricks of the game. 

B. Just what Buchanan had hoped for, 28-24, then 14-17, 21-14, 
10-26, 31-22, and the play is brought back to familiar lines. 
Head's knowledge was of but recent date, and acquired from a 
perusal of published play, a knowledge that is always dangerous 
when pitted against one who in addition has acquired an exper- 
ience from actual play, from which the finer points of the game 
are best learned. 

C. The losing move. See diagram.

A. Varies from game 129, R. Jordan and Denvir. 

B. 8-12 would be our choice. 

C. 16-12 seems best we can see nothing in the ending for white 
to play for. 

D. Again we would prefer 8-12, the advantage for black of course 
is not very great, but still worth retaining, from here on the whites. 
seem to gain a slight advantage. 

E. 6-2 would have been much better, and brought about a much 
keener finish. Both players seem to have had an off day in their 

end play.

A. Varies from game 211, and has been favored in previous con- 
tests by Jordan with success. 

B. Varies from published play. Ferrie in his match with R. 
Jordan jumped 26-19 and Jordan scored a nice win. In an an- 
alysis of this game Lees shows that Ferrie up to the point where 
he made his losing move had a very good game, and black had 
to be very careful. 

C. Loses, yet quite excusable. A great win by Jordan, in keeping 
with his reputation. (See diagram.)

171 



C. Play to here has been published in the Draughts World, where 
the continuation runs 17-13. 

D. Dearborn who was unused to playing under a time limit was 
apparently hampered by it here, it looks as though he wished 
to avoid the 17-14 cut, and at the same time dreaded to play the

A Varies from game 190, Reynolds and Hynd. 

B. Dearborn who was on new ground, realized such was not the 
case with his opponent, and probably preferred to take his chances 
with this clearing move rather than take the risk of falling into 
some well laid pitfall of his respected opponent.

'aries from game 184, Hill and A. Jordan, and is much stronger. 

B. Now a Whilter and same as game 211 Schaefer and R. Jordan. 

C. Hill either failed to recognize the Whilter or he was unac- 
quainted with this variation, for the move is considered a loser, 
3-7 as played by Schaefer is proper. 

D. Hill has made a gallant struggle though he failed to shake his 
opponent off.

A. Varies from game 217. This move was probably first recorded 
as played by Heffner against Freeman of Providence several years 
ago. 

B. Freeman against Heffner played 16-20. 

C. Searight as in game 217 has again cleverly worked the play 
into a variation of the Whilter. Coming from the regular open- 
ing the play runs thus: 11-15, 23-19, 9-14, 22-17, 7 _II > 25-22, 
11-16, 27-23. This last move 27-23 was one that Wyllie during 
his second visit to the States, expressed a fondness for, but not 
feeling sure of his ground, avoided it when it came to match play. 

D. Lees gives 5-9, 17-13, then 8-1 1, 29-25, 16-20, 19-16, No doubt 
' Searight was trying to coax 24-20, 15-24, 28-19, an d then follow 

it with 5-9. 



i74 



Bryden against Beattie played 16-20 which was followed with 
32-27. 

E. 5-9, 17-13, 4-8, 24-20, 15-18 would have brought the play back 
into Lees' line. 

F. Again Lees' line could be forced by playing 5-9. 

G. The play has now got back again to Lees' line, here the play 
in our manuscript stops and says drawn, no doubt the play was 
carried out further, but in the absence of this play we are unable 
to show where this game breaks away. 

H. 10-15 draws with ease. Mr. Searight comes very near making 
a loser. The error of judgment can be ascribed to straining for 
more than his game warrants. 

I. Probably a move Searight had not calculated on, but figured 
on 30-25 then 14-17, 21-14, 10-17, B. W. 

J. Searight plays the ending with great judgment, and Hill shows 
his worth by making him play for all there is in the position, 
possibly some one who can give it more attention than we have, 
may still discover a white win.

A. Varies from game 94, Grover and Ferrie. We made this move 
intending to follow with 13-9 if 3-7 was made in reply. 

B. Still loooking it over, we regretted our move at A, for 13-9 be- 
gan to look exceedingly dangerous, time was called, and we made 

177 



this 24-20 without much consideration. After the session we 
spoke to Horr about it, and explained what frightened us off. 
Later in the match Ferrie went into it with Horr and had a very- 
close call. (See game 256.) 

C. There may be better play but everything looked very unsatis- 
factory. 

D. Pretty hard picking. 

E. Allows white to escape with a draw. See diagram.

At the conclusion of the game, Mr. Jordan expressed an acquain- 
tance with the play, but 30-25, at D, was a new one, and set him 
adrift. The five minute limit saved us the game at E. At the 
conclusion of the game, we felt thankful to Mr. Jordan, and he 
explained that time had expired before he had a chance to ex- 
amine 11-15.

A. It does not seem probable that Gardner -made this take with 
any expectation of trapping so formidable an opponent. One would 
rather suspect he feared some particular line and intended to avert 
its possibility, whatever the reason it proved of no avail. 

B. Varies from game 120, Morrall and Horr. 

C. There appears to be no draw after this. 18-14 seems to draw.

A. Loses and varies from game 161, Heffner and Stewart. (See 
notes to that game.) 

B. A very blind, and unexpected move, but for it, black's game 
would be a wreck. 

C. Barker failed to notice the double and simple way to force 
two for one by 11- 16, and so dismissed it from consideration. 
Knowing Gardner had made a losing move, Barker must still 
have thought he had the win in hand with 12-16.

A. Varies from game 192, Reynolds and Hynd, and is consider- 
able stronger. Freedman first played it against Ferrie in one of 
the Scottish national tourneys, and a very interesting game re- 
sulted therefrom. 

B. This game was finely contested, Mr. Hynd's play indicates 
he was conversant with it.

A. Varies from game 132, Denvir and R. Jordan. 

The move is decidedly weak, and gives black a very hard game. 

B. Nothing else left. 

C. 29-25 caught our fancy, and we think it will win.

G. Quite natural yet it does not appear best, black however ap-

B. 10-14 is best. 

C. We fail to fathom what Mr. Reynolds was trying to do with 
this ending; there surely was nothing to gain by this, while 29-25 
draws very simple and was all Mr. Reynolds could expect.

Mr. Halliwell's play for the draw is very brilliant.

Then 3-7 and Mr. Denvir finally won. 



A. Varies from game 147, Heffner and Gardner. 

B. Away from published play, and no doubt a cook. It draws, 
but is inferior to the standard 1-5, 25-21, 8-11, 31-26, 9-14, 18-9, 
5-14, 23-19, and black, though a man down, has a good game. 

C. The situation at this point looks quite odd, and such are not 
of very frequent occurrence.

WHITE. 



White to play. 



If 25-21 black gets on a fine shot thus: 

14-18, 23-14, 16-19, 24-15, 7-16, 14-7, 2-25, 17-14. 

But white by fine play can still draw. 

D. Such a curious position does not seem possible to occur in well 
regulated play, but we see that it has, and, from an opening that 
has already been explored to the extent of over 10,000 variations, 
black's position is inferior, but not so much as it appears; white's 
require extreme care to keep clear of pitfalls. 

E. All that's left. 

F. 18-14, JO-i 7? 4-8, is a very good line, and gives black a hard 
game. 

G. 32-28, 10-15, 4-8, 6-10, 8-4, 10-14, 4-8, 21-25, 3°- 2I > 1 3~ I 7? 
22-6, 15-31, 8-15, 1-26, B. W. 

H. Loses, though no doubt Mr. Morrall played it to win. The 
following is best, and the white draw if any is very close.

I. We suspect Mr. Morrall did not figure on this move. 
J. 23-19 is considerable stronger and shortens the win.

holding the man on 25 back appears to give white an additional 
strength not possessed in those games. 

C. The beginning of trouble for black, 3-7 gives an equal position. 

D. Loses, the diagram shows the position.

showing the draw shortly after the Heffner Barker match. 

E. The key to win. We believe Ferrie also won this ending in 
one of the Scotch tourneys, the win has also been extensively 
published in both English and Scotch checker columns, but the 
ending was brought up by a different order of moves.

A. Varies from game 49, Head and R. Jordan. It is new so far, 
as book play goes, but it has been well analyzed and published. 

B. 4-8 is stronger, it confines white to a single line of play to draw.

32-23, 30-26 and blacks appear strong enough to win. Again 
at D, 19-16 12-19, 23-16, 8-12, 24-19, 15-24, 28-19, then 14-18, 
seems to win for black. The win however, is easily missed here, 
should black instead of 14-18 play 11-15, a tempting-looking 
move, whites secure this trap, 26-23, 15-24, 16-11, 7-16, 23-19.

A. Varies from game 93, Ferrie and Grover. 

B. This looks weak, 8-12 appears good. 

C. If 32-28, then 1-6 is the only move to draw, and evidently 14-9 
was intended to head off this draw. 

D. The play is so palpably bad from here, that we are unable to 
account for it, probably it has been wrongly copied into the book. 
It does not require any more than ordinary ability to see that this 
move must prove fatal. 19-24 the only prospect for a draw, is 
also easily seen, and we incline to think it was taken. The play 
would then fit in thus: 19-24, 17-14, 3-7, 26-22, 16-19. Now 
same as game at 39th move, and most likely the way it was played. 

E. 32-28 of course wins easily. 

F. Again 19-24 is the only move. 

G. And again 32-28 wins.

A. Weak. 26-22 or 23-18 are much stronger. 

B. Varies from game 223, A. Jordan and Heffner. 

C. Appears compulsory. 

D. The move that gave us a fright when playing game 223. The 
draw for white from here is very critical, and we still possess a 
lingering doubt of its soundness. The position at this point we 
give on the following diagram. 

BLACK.

A. Varies from game 13, Denvir and Ferrie, also game 176, Ferrie 
and Head. 

B. This seems to give black by far the better game. 25-21 brings 
the play back into the old rut and should have been taken. 

C. Hopeless after this, the following is submitted to draw.

Drawn after a very badly played ending on the part of white. 

A. Varies from game no, Hynd and Denvir. It is an improve- 
ment over 16-20 as played in that game, but still weak. 7-10 is 
best. 

B. Now the same as game 269. 

C. Hynd differs from Dearborn here. 

D. Play has been published on 28-24, and was probably the line 
Hynd had hoped for. 

E. A very hard game for black after this. 2-6 looks as if it might 
draw with careful play thus: 2-6, 26-22, 17-26, 31-22, 16-20, etc.

D. More of it. 1-6 decidedly better and draws, if answered with 
32-28 which appears best, play 14-18, 23-14, 6-9, 13-6, 2-25, 30-21, 

11-16, 20-11, 8-15. Drawn. 
Or if answered with 23-19 then 5-9 looks like an easy game. 
A draw after 14-17 is doubtful. 



GAME No. 275. 12-16, 22-18. 

. Evening Session. Black, Halliwell; White, Schaefer. 

This game resulted in a draw, but the players failed to give it 
in the copy book. We made an effort to secure the game from 
Dr. Schaefer, but he could not recall the opening or play. We 
were unable to reach Mr. Halliwell for want of an address.

Drawn. 



A. Varies from game 33, Halliwell and Grover. 

B. 3-7 as played by Buchanan in game 365 is best. 

C. 9-14, 18-9, 5-14, 22-18, 3-7, 18-9, 6-13, 15-6, 2-9 would have 
been better, a draw after 9-13 is somewhat doubtful, though to 
prove it otherwise we found the task too great with the short time 
at our disposal. 

t). 15-n may win, but it is no easy matter to find. 

E. We thought to win with 22-18 but 13-17, 18-9, 5-14, S-^, 17-22, 

19-15, 10-26, 3-17, *2-6, and white still have a very powerful 

position and possibly a winning one, but our opinion is that it 

admits of a close draw. 

We give it on the diagram, and leave it for the critics to master.

A. Mr. Morrall following in our footsteps of the previous game, 
took us by surprise, we kept trailing along, expecting at every turn 
he would alter the play, as we preferred the second side when 
playing blacks, we were satisfied to have him do so, but when we 
reached this stage we surmised his intentions. 

B. Varies from previous game. 

C. 2-6 loses by 26-33, 19-26, 28-19.

A. Varies from game 11, R. Jordan and Heffner. This move is 
not commonly played, considerable play on it can be found in

well known to the expert.

Dyke very much, the colors being reversed. The young Scotch-

scoring a win.

A. Varies from game 9, R. Jordan and HefTner. 

B. Hopeless. 11-15 is the only move worth consideration, and 
no doubt received it, but it must have looked very bad to Mr. 
Dearborn or he would not have played thus desperately. It 
should be borne in mind Mr. Dearborn was not accustomed to 
a time limit, and found the five minutes allowed too short to do 
justice to his powers. The diagram shows the situation.

A. This was the first and only time this reply was drawn through- 
out the match. 

B. Weak, if not an absolute loss. 3-8 is the accepted move. 

C. The position resembles a line of the Switcher colors reversed, 
with the piece on 25 placed on 22 we have it identically, colors 
reversed with a game from the Switcher between R. Jordan and 
Barker which occurred in their match for the championship. 

D. 15-19', 24-15, 11-18, 20-11, 8-15, 30-26, and blacks look to be 
beyond recovery. 

E. A draw is missed here. (See diagram.)

B. 23-19 is quite frequently taken, Barker won with it from R. 
Jordan in their championship match. Barker probably consid- 
ered Ferrie was too well prepared on it to attempt anything at 
this time. 

C. This shot leaves black with the superior ending, otherwise 
the game was evenly contested.

224 



A. The ballot produced another opening for Ferrie, and Barker 
drawn by no other pair throughout the contest. 

B. Looks new, we could find no play on it. 

C. 31-27 is much stronger, 16-19 then would lose by 18-14, and 
6-9 would be bad, thus: 13-6, 2-9, 22-17, 15-22, 17-13, and again 
8-12 seems no better: white replies with 32-28. If we reject these 
three black moves, they still have another, and we think better. 
15-19, 24-15, 10-19, Now 22-17 appears to give white a fine end- 
ing; 8-12 or 19-24 appears to the annotator as best. If the latter 
move be taken, then 27-23, now if 8-12 play 18-14, « r if 24-27, 
then 18-15, n-18, 23-14, 27-31, 20-11, 8-15^14-10, 6-9, 13-6, 
2-9, 10-7, 9-13, 17-14, 15-18, 14-9, and a draw is doubtful.

A. Varies from game 295., 

B. The Sunday previous to the beginning of the match, this move 
had received the serious attention of several members of the 
American team. 

C. 15-19 was said to be standard, and the move under discussion. 
Denvir had new white play for a win, which led the Americans 
to consider the black game lost from here; it was later on dis- 
covered that Denvir' s play did not win, and was not even an im- 
provement. One of the Americans inquired, what about 12-16? 
The Americans worked diligently all day, and far into the evening 
on the new proposition, and were much disappointed when their 
labors convinced them that the white game was very weak, a 
draw if any was so hard and narrow that it was abandoned, that 
Denvir's play would have failed of its purpose was not known at 

225 



this time. Dr. Schaefer, who had taken no part, hearing of the 
Americans' disappointment, was curious to see the Denvir play, 
as he had had some experience on the line in question, and in- 
stantly declared it of no value. The game having been abandoned, 
no pains were taken to acquaint the team as a whole of the doctor's 
views, but it was generally supposed all knew. It seems, however, 
that Barker did not, and we should judge from the way the game 
with its notes got into the press that Denvir himself was in the 
dark about it. Barker's bold efforts to retrieve himself for his 
loss in the previous game w T ere doomed from the start. 

D. Barker's last hope was 4-8, then the trap 13-9 followed by 21-17 
and 31-26 leaves black, although a man up, in an extremely weak 
position. 

E. To here the play had gone through the fire of analysis, and the 
opinion prevailed that white could not draw. 

F. While doubtful we incline to the opinion that it will draw. 

G. 16-20, 23-16, 20-24, 28-19, 15-24, 16-11, 6-15, 26-22, 24-27, 
1 1-8, 27-31, 8-3, and whites seem to draw. 

H. As the game was published in various checker columns, 21-17 
is given, and a black win was demonstrated, and the opinion pre- 
vails that Ferrie missed a win. The copy book, however, gives 
25-22, as the game was placed there by the players immediately 
after the game, it is more likely to be correct than the one given 
by some other player or onlooker to the press reporter.

A. Varies from game 278. 

B. Now same as game 97, Searight and Head. 

C. After the game with Head, the British team gave this way of 
capturing considerable attention, and decided black's game after 
it was taken to be untenable. It had been noised about the room 
for some time before this point had been reached, that black's 
game was beaten. 

D. Those of the British team that had got through with their 
games, were deeply interested in the progress of this one, and kept 
up a running comment on the probable outcome. The fact that 
up to this we were the only American not having lost a game, 
was most likely an attracting magnet. In a whisper, not intended 
for our ears, we overheard one of them say, he has gone 4-8. It 
came in such a way that satisfied us that we had done something 
unexpected. At the time we had begun regretting making the 
move as we thought we saw considerable trouble looming up ahead, 
a feeling that it had not been considered in the cook-shop gave us 
hope, but Searight buckled too with all the energy at his command, 
and was not to be denied. 

E. At the close of the game, Searight remarked 4-8 draws, meaning 
at D, and that he thought this the losing move. That he still 
holds to these views we are unable to say here, but our opinion 
when playing was that our game was lost before reaching this 
point, and was inclined to charge it up to the 4-8 move at D.

the black game to recommend, and unless one is thoroughly ac- 
quainted with it, it should be avoided.

A. From the Edinburgh it would come up 9-13, 21-17, 11-16, 
forming a variation we choose for this occasion only, to classify 
Edinburgh Switcher. It is not our intention to add, by foisting 
upon an already confused checker-reading public, names for these 
nondescript combinations. We do not believe such work should 
be left to the individual player, though this is the way it has been 
done in the past, and led to much confusion, though it also has 
served a good purpose. It seems to us such work should belong 
to some authorized body or committee, to avoid a confusion that 
is on the increase. 

B. Varies from game 132, Denvir and R. Jordan. 

C. 29-25 would have been stronger here. 

D. The position at this point can also arise from what we have in 
this work classified Kelso Cross. 

E. We think this gives white a chance to escape with a draw. 

F. Loses. 1-6 would have drawn. Hynd probably failed to notice 
the breeches towards the end, resulting from this move.

A. Varies from game 177, Schaefer and Searight, and while sound, 
is not as safe. 

B. 22-17 would have been better. 

C. A draw after this is questionable. 31-26, 6-15, 26-23, 19-26, 
30-23, probably draws. 

D. The win is missed here. Mr. Morrall, no doubt, saw that 14-18 
would win, but thought this would also. 

E. Mr. Grover failed to see his opportunity. 6-2 would have drawn, 
play showing this draw was published in the Inter Ocean, by A. 
W. Valentine, of Little Rock, 111. This same play also appeared 
in the Leeds Mercury Supplement, by Charles Hefter, but Valen- 
tine was first and according to the generally accepted rule, he is 
credited with the play here.

F. Mr. Morrall's second bad blunder. 25-30 or 25-29 would 
have practically ended the play. Both players were disgusted 
with their efforts, and Mr. Fitzpatrick who was announcing the 
results, gave it out jocosely, that the game was a very bum one, 
which created a roar of laughter.

A. Varies from game 123, Stewart and Hill. When not property 
met, this move gives black a very nice game, but when so met, 
the black ending becomes very critical, and requires considerable 
care to draw. 

B. From A to here the play is considered about as near perfect 
as it can be got, at this point, however, we believe keeping the 
piece on 18 as played in game 347, by Mr. Head.

shows that the text move 31-26 draws. 

C. Lees gave 3-8, but it makes no material difference which of 
these two moves are made, as both lead to the same piay.

A. Varies from game 55, Hill and Ferrie. 

B. This move is very weak, 6-10 is the proper reply with an even 
game. We got slightly twisted here, our impression was that we 
were told that 14-18 was a strong move. We quickly discovered 
our mistake, the point meant was after 24-20, instead of 26-22. 

C. From here, for quite a way on, time was being continually 
called on the black moves, Five minutes may seem a long while 
to some, and when watching others it sometimes seems so to your 
humble servant, but in this case it did not occur to us that way. 

D. We believe this move should lose, we had used part of our time 
on 1-6, and had not quite got through when time expired. See 
diagram with our ideas for the draw.

E. 24-20 seems to win with careful play. At the conclusion of the 
game we called Mr. Feme's attention to it. Ferrie said he had 
considered it, but saw that it made no difference. R. Jordan, 
who had got through with his set, and was watching this game, 
also called his attention to it some time later, and then he saw 
his mistake. After the close of the match we again looked at it, 
Ferrie had done the same, but we found we differed in results, 
we were unable to alter our first opinion, whereas Ferrie had again 
changed his on the ultimate result of the move. In his opinion 
black had a narrow draw, what Mr. Ferrie's present opinion may 
be we are unable to state.

A. Varies from game 246, Reynolds and Buchanan. 

B. 27-23 leads to a stronger game. This move gives black the 
best game. 

C. 1-6 looks more promising and gives black the better end game. 

D. There is very little choice for either side, if 14-18 then 21-17 
18-23, 22-18, 13-22, 15-10, etc. Drawn.

in match play abroad, and its fine points have been nigh exhausted. 
As left here it looks very much as if black could form first position, 
but whites have just time enough to avoid it.

E. A losing move, 18-15 will draw, says Dr. Schaefer, and we agree 
with him.

Stewart and Hill, and a number of others. 

C. Varies from all other games. 

D. Probably the loser. 



255 



E. Same as game 124, Hill and Stewart. 

F. Unless a draw can be shown by 14-17 here, 11-16 at D must be 
considered a loss. 

G. Varies from Stewart, showing that white has more than one 
way of playing the ending, and still win. The doctor regretted 
this loss more than any other one, as it shattered one of his idols, 
but a player who gives the checker fraternity an analysis of his 
intended lines far in advance, must expect to meet with occasional 
-disaster as a consequence.

Abandoned as drawn. 

A. Varies from game 351. 

B . This move appears very weak, and from which we believe there 
is no recovery. 8-1 1 is standard and draws. 

C. 27-24, 20-27, 3 I_2 4 would have won easily, this win was pointed 
out to the doctor after the game was played by A. Jordan, who 
had been watching the play. The loss of the previous game, 
and such a simple opportunity to even up, of course made the 
doctor feel splendid.

A. Varies from game 4, Stewart and Horr. 

B. White's position becomes decidedly weak. 18-15 is given as 
the best defense with an equal game, and can be found in the books. 

C. 21-17 we believe will draw, but is very close. 

D. A black win is now clear, it looks as though a harder fight 
could be made here, but a different result is very doubtful.

A. Now same as game 47, Dearborn and Buchanan. 

B. Varies from game 47. 

C. All irregularities now cease, the game having become a Denny, 
brought up thus: 

10-14, 22-17, 6 " IO > 25-22, "-i5> I 7" I 3i T -- 6 i 29-25, 8-n, 24-20, 

D. With the exception of squares 1 and 29 being vacant, the posi- 
tion of the remaining pieces are identical with game 296, Ferrie 
and Barker. This slight difference takes a little from the strength 
of black's game. The proper replies at this stage are however 
the same. 

E. Losing move. 16-19 draws. 

F. Halliwell fails to see the shot. (See diagram.)

G. Hill makes a loser for the second time, 16-19 is again the 

proper reply. 
H. Either way of capturing, of course, wins. 
I. Halliwell, confident of the final result, begins to play "fancy," 

looking for 23-19, 7-10, 19-28, 21-17, an( ^ black returns the piece. 



258 



J. Continues to play for fancy exchanges. 

K. Where there is life there is hope, is a motto Hill has always 
carried into his play, and by this last move the position has become 
critical. The play from the time both players made a king, 
resembles the cat playing with his captured mouse. Incautious 
kitty has lost track of his mouse, and don't know where to find it. 

L. Denvir in the Inter-Ocean, says: " Trapped; Halliwell has 
played the ending very carelessly, and now discovers that he must 
lose his advantage of a piece, and, despite his after endeavors, 
his wily opponent succeeds in escaping with a draw." 

M. Frank Dunne, in the Leeds Mercury, adds: "We think, how- 
ever, that Halliwell still had the win in hand up to this point, 
and submit the following variation by way of illustration:

A. Varies from game 48, Buchanan and Dearborn. 

B. Rather an odd one, and no doubt unexpected. 17-14 looks 
more natural, it prevents 12-16 as white would spring a trap by 
14-10, 7-23, 28-24, thus it can be seen that black can do no better 
than 7-1 1. This would have given Stewart the option of 26-22 
at a later point, or perhaps better play. 

C. This strikes us as being very .weak, 28-24 and whites still have 
a splendid game. 

D. 22-18 and black have an easy win.

Then 23-27 Drawn. 

A. Varies from game 216, Ferrie and Dearborn. 

B. This move has figured in Scotch tourneys, and it can be taken 
for granted, its possibilities hav.e been well- pounded out. 

C. In previous contests, 31-27 is the move invariably taken, in 
making this move Barker has run the play into a line first played 
in his last match with Reed at Chicago. In this match the play 
leading to this position came about as follows: 

265 



9 14 24 19 8 24 25 22 n 16 29 25 7 11 19 10 

22 18 11 15 28 19 8 11 27 24 20 27 25 22 6 15 

5 9 18 11 4 8 22 18 16 20 31 24 10 15 32 28 
Now the same as foregoing game at 24th move. 

D. This was the move taken by Reed, and from here to the end 
the play in both games is practically the same. At the close of 
the Reed-Barker game, Maize suggested that 12-16 here might 
prove better, the suggestion probably led others to investigate, 
and the following is an extract of the play since published.

A. Varies from game 115, Halliwell and Barker. 

The variation is immaterial, but in checkers one is always trying 
to lure his opponents into false paths, and 17-13 first gives one the 
impression the retention of the piece on 25 is preferred, and makes 
it tempting to drive it by 26-30, just as Halliwell did, and suffer 



for it with a weak ending. 



B. During the winter months, prior to the contest, this game with 
a single exception was played between Heffner and Barker, in 
that game Barker playing the white, played 17-13 at A, then 
28-32 was followed by 25-21, and carried out as above.

Then 11-15, 1-5 and the score book stops, but the white win is 
quite apparent. 

A. Varies from game 161, Heffner and Stewart, and most likely 
loses. Barker had known of the possibilities of the novelty, but 
it was a case of receiving more new matter in a short space of time 
than one can properly retain, and he got slightly mixed, this hap- 
pened frequently with all on the American team. 

B. Mr. Jordan thought it possible that a draw might be discovered 
by 1-1-15, but it was very remote, and he had very little faith in it. 
Although the great audience was most anxious to have Barker 
win from his doughty opponent, that worthy artist was the re- 
cipient of a ringing burst of applause for his win.

A. Varies from game 163, Heffner and Stewart. 

B. White's game appears beaten after this. 21-17 draws, and gives 
white an easy game. Mr. Ferrie nursed his win in this game very 
cleverly.

W. W. 



A. Varies from game 73, Halliwell and Heffner, and has run into 
game 54, Ferrie and Hill at the 17th move. 

B. Leaves game 54, and enters into game 182, Hill and A. Jordan 

C. Differs from game 182, and runs into game 366, Schaefer and 
Buchanan. 

D. In game 366, Dr. Schaefer played 3-8, and should have lost. 
It is not difficult to comprehend how the doctor came to make his 
mistake, but Grover 's 7-10 we find a puzzle A probable explana- 
tion may be, that he overlooked the return exchange 18-14, or 
noting it got mixed, and thought at its completion it would be 
white's turn to move. 7-1 1 draws as shown in game 366.

B. And now into game 222, Heffner and A. Jordan.

D. Leaves the books, and is new. While sound, it cannot be 
classed an improvement. 

E. Unexpected. 10-14 was considered the most likely response. 

275 



At first glance 6-9 looks as if it would lead to difficulties for black. 
Whites of course, need find no trouble in making a draw, but 
danger lurks in trying to do better. 

F. White can compel the draw here at once by 16-12. 7-1 1 would 
lose by the three for three trap, but 9-13 draws thus: 32-28, 
13-22, 28-19, 1-5, 26-17, 10-14. Drawn. 

G. If 16-12, then 10-14, J8-I5, 14-18 and-all semblance of a black 
weakness disappears. Whites, in fact, though seemingly well 
fortified have nothing better than 30-25, 10-14, I 8-i5, 7-11, 15-8, 
3-19, 25-21. Drawn. We were reluctant to bring the game to 
so abrupt a close. Confident that 26-22 would draw, we played 
in hopes of having overlooked something that a further examina- 
tion would uncover, in this, as the play shows, we were doomed 
to disappointment. 

H. 18-15 again draws similar to 30-25 in note G. 
I. If 16-12, black replies 24-28 with a strong ending.

B. Cramps white's game, 27-23 gives a more open game. 

C. 22-18 here will draw. The move taken comes very near losing. 

D. After this white's have an easy draw by 19 15. 3-8 is much 
stronger and embodies all the good contained in the 2-6 move, 
and prevents the 19-15 exchange. (See diagram.)

W. W. 



A. Varies from game 186, Dearborn and Gardner. 

B. Appears to be best, and gives white a field of traps that black 
must be careful to avoid. 



C. Hill quickly takes advantage of whatever possibilities the 
strength of his game may bring forth. 

D. Again there seems to be nothing stronger, if 9-14, or 10-14, then 
23-18 wins, or if 4-8 then 23-18 again gives a very strong position, 
and if followed with 8-12, then 30-26, 12-19, 2 7 _2 3> W. W. 

E. 10-15 mav be a little stronger. 

F. The positions appear more equalized now, but still whatever 
advantage there may be remains with white. 

G. There seems to be a wasting of moves through here. 
H. Mr. Morrall' s troubles now begin in real earnest. 

I. Forming a trap, should black come out 31-26 then 3-8, 4-1 1, 

27-23, etc., but it is questionable under the circumstances, if this 

would be best or that Hill intended taking it. 
J. Whatever was Hill's intention, Morrall seemed bent on avoiding 

it, the wisdom of this is very doubtful, and from here black's 

game goes to pieces. 
K. Only a matter of finishing up a game already won.
